Application filed April 4, 1881. (Specimens) To all whom it may conaem:

Be itkoowu than I, PETER Emma, a. subond .reeidin'g in St. Peiersbzgrg, Russia, have invonted'o new Erooess of Solidifying; Crudezmd Refined Poiroieum and other Hydrocarbon Oils and Residues, of whioo the following is o speoiiieat-iom The objeol; of my invention is ioeonveri; oracle. our refined petroieum and petroleum, reoiolimm intoe condition in which it can be oofeiy and reaglily tronoporteii in cheap ieoepmoleo.

I The cola-ks iieoessai'y for-iira nsportation of peti'oieiim amimher liquid hydrocorbone have to be water-tight, and are more or less iB-ZEI)6 sive. in order to permit; the conveyance of such oils in olfieap'packing and obtain better and more useful products from the crude oiis, I convert, them into'a more or less solid state, so that; ilsese'mosoes oi petroieum maybe packed in wooden imxes or other receptacles mode at slight expense. Afoer moor, experiments I have succeeded in oonveriing'omdo and refiueii petroleum, aii well as hydrocarbon residue, info solid zoo-sizes resembling pork-mid, adapteiifor irzinsporto tio'n iii; a ieiiipefioture of Celsius in cheap packing witliong leakage.

My process i9 as follows: By mixing crude or refined petroleum or residues with two or three percent. of hollow-soap as free from water aszposeible, while tho i ixizu zo is warm. ingtlle mole-color state of theitaatoms is moditied in 's'ooii omoonor that'the said oils aro converted into a. solid state adopte for transpox-eation in oheaply-construoied peeking. By a careful mixing; oithe materials to which the soopis added the process is promoted. In or der to iiqueijy at its place of destination this solidified petrole1xm, it'is to be well mixed with water, to which is added about twoper cent. bfmuriatie aoid, whereupon the peti oleum is easily separated in its former unaltered eioao. When crude petroleum is treated by my process. it affords also greooadvantagee for distillation. 1

Asia well kiao'vim, in the separation of oerbureteii hydroge'os of I difi'erelit boiiing-pointe soap pertioooiousiy retoins all substances boiling at the higher iegi-eosof heat. This prop erty, which is made use of on a greohscaie for purifying alcohols, causes the lighting-oils in to oopeoiiiootion by'iuei allie oxides, bljleilts moiie with this tiae'disisillotion of tine soiiliifiecl pass over oo clear as water without may trace oi sulphuric siiiiotanoeei No oubseqnem pm rifioation by euipimrio aoiiL-soiia, 8m, is re quireii. The products are free from solar-oils, {heavy ierburemii hydrogem) burn with a very bright flame wiilioulzony omeli, even when the wick is screwed ophigii aod the proiioeizioo. of iiglii-ingoilo ie oonoiderobiy iuoreasod.

Thus I eueeeeii in obtaining by my proeeoe forty-fi Yo yo: oem. best; refined peir'olemii, ozoilooing imiomimibie goo at +45 Qeleiuo foom oruiie iiihpl3h& of 95 specific weiglii, which gives, by omiiooiy oioiiliotioii moi refining, oniy liiiifijflihlefi per cent. oi lighiiog-oiie.
